Why each option

To display a custom text area field in the highlights panel on the Account page, the administrator must create a custom compact layout for the Account object.

AIn the Account object manager, create a custom compact layout.Correct

The compact layout controls which fields appear in the highlights panel at the top of a Lightning Record Page, as well as in record preview cards and feed items. By creating and assigning a custom compact layout, the administrator can include the new text area field for quick visibility.

BFrom the page layout editor, drag the field to the highlights panel.

The page layout editor controls the main detail section of a record page; fields cannot be directly dragged into the highlights panel from this editor.

CMake the field required and move it to the top of the page.

Making a field required and moving it to the top of the page layout only affects its placement within the main detail section, not its appearance in the highlights panel.

DMark this item for later review.

Marking an item for later review is not a configuration action to accomplish the request.

ECreate a new page layout and a new section titled highlights panel.

Creating a new page layout and a new section titled 'highlights panel' only affects the main detail section and does not control the actual highlights panel that is configured via compact layouts.
